and teachers. One aspect to consider in the application of online networks in learning is how
students’ perceive it. A study conducted by Sagarra and Zapata (2008) obtained that students had
positive feedbacks toward the use online networks to assist the learning process. Moreover, a study
conducted by Espinosa (2015) noticed that students enjoy their experience of using online
networks in the classroom. Since involving online networks to assist face-to-face meeting has been
a common practice in English Language Education Program (ELEP), this study sought to find the
students’ perception toward the use of online networks in English classroom. The data were
collected by interviewing three participants from 2013 to 2016 batch. By answering fifteen (15)
open-ended questions, the students showed positive feedbacks towards the use of online networks.
They declared that online networks were accessible, helpful, and flexible. Moreover, they affirmed
that the class was more fun and interesting as it was different from the regular practice. It is
expected that this study would foster teachers to consider students’ perception when designing
online activities.
